What is being done?

The crossovers at Route 94 and South Breeze Road will be closed to prevent drivers from turning left or going straight across Route 94. Special turn lanes, called J-turns, will be added at Independence Road and between South Breeze and Wolfrum Road, so drivers can access eastbound and westbound Route 94. Drivers will still be able to turn left from Route 94 onto South Breeze Road.

Why is a J-turn safer?

Why not put a signal at Route 94 and South Breeze?

The volume of traffic at South Breeze does not meet the minimum requirements for a signal. In addition, crash rates can actually increase when a signal is installed. A J-turn intersection eliminates the movement that causes T-bone crashes often associated with the current intersection setup and a signalized intersection. Adding an unwarranted signal would also impede traffic flow on Route 94, resulting in long wait times for motorists on South Breeze to get a green light.
